French Bistro 1739

Truly excellent meal here. Fernando was awesome: made helpful suggestions and kept the meal going perfectly smoothly all night. Great atmosphere, great food, and if you’re lucky, owner-manager Chris may stop by and explain the really fascinating history of the building.

1739 French Bistro at La Compañía is a spectacular dining experience! From the highly attentive wait staff to the scrumptious meals, every detail will leave you in awe! The restaurant, complete with all of its historical artifacts is absolutely stunning! If you are looking for an unforgettable evening, I highly recommend 1739 French Bistro!

Absolutely fantastic in every way. Every course was impeccable and our waiter Fernando was so helpful and attentive. If you’re looking for a dining experience to remember, come to Bistro 1739. I’ve eaten in France, and many places around the world. No where was better.

a very nicely designed french restaurant! excellent food and top service! my favorite was langustino risotto..

Awesome experience. Our server Fernando was excellent and catered to our every need, even a spilled and broken red wine glass taken care of like it never happened! Beautiful restaurant with great hosts and servers. Highly recommend!

Beautiful restaurant! Our waiter, Fernando was excellent. The French onion soup was delicious. We look forward to a return visit.

Classic French Cuisine at its very finest. We began with and highly recommend the baked Camembert appetizer. For entree and side, we shared short ribs, truffle mashed potatoes, and truffle parm asparagus. Each was prepared to perfection. Hubs enjoyed a beautiful glass of Chilean Pinot Noir. My husband is an excellent home chef. This was the first time in a decade I have seen him totally blown away by a meal. He focuses on the food. For me, while the dining exceeded every possible expectation, the ambiance, attention to detail, lighting, music, and definitely the service (Fernando was our wait-person) took it all out of this world. The staff is super-friendly and unpretentious which I especially appreciate. Several of them spoke Spanish, English, & French. It was very helpful that the printed menu is translated into English for those of us just learning Espanol.

Fernando was fantastic, we had the 3 course meal and it was so delicious! i would highly recommended specially with the pairing of wine. A must visit while in Panama!
